Our first Kindness Club meeting after school today was full of fun, creativity, and—of course—KINDNESS! 💕 Our Bears spent time playing a quick game together and then creating inspirational bookmarks to share with students in our library. 📚✨
We love seeing our 3rd and 4th grade students find simple ways to encourage others and spread kindness throughout Buckalew!

Kindness is how we change the game! 🎮💛
